A member asked:
Which route of drug administration has the most rapid onset of action ?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on where...: The answer depends on where one wants the drug to go to. If one wants the drug to go all over the inside of the body, then IV is most rapid because the drug goes into the bloodstream directly, and the blood carries the drug everywhere.
